🍋 Sourdough Olive Oil Lemon Cake

🍋 Sourdough Olive Oil Lemon Cake

The easiest way to turn extra starter into dessert.

You'll Need:

✅ 150g sourdough starter (discard works)
✅ 3 eggs
✅ ½ cup olive oil
✅ ½ cup milk
✅ Zest of 2 lemons
✅ ¼ cup lemon juice
✅ 1 tsp vanilla
✅ 200g flour
✅ 150g sugar
✅ 1 tsp baking powder
✅ ½ tsp baking soda
✅ ½ tsp salt

Quick Method:

1️⃣ Whisk all the wet ingredients together.

2️⃣ Mix all the dry ingredients together.

3️⃣ Combine wet + dry. Stir until smooth. Don't overmix.

4️⃣ Pour into a lined cake pan.

5️⃣ Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes.

6️⃣ Cool.

7️⃣ Dust with powdered sugar.

8️⃣ Slice. Eat. Wonder why you've never made this before. 🍋✨

Baker's Warning:

One slice turns into:
"I'll just have another tiny piece..."
...and suddenly half the cake is gone. 😅
